Abstract
Focusing on the modern housing heritage, one of the most numerous typologies of twentieth-century architecture at risk of demolition, this study aims to identify the thresholds of change and continuity of different adaptation strategies, from conservation to transformation, through good practices of this typology. Three case studies from Western Europe, representing two turning points in modern housing architecture, are grouped according to the hierarchy of cultural significance. Accordingly, Unité d'Habitation Marseille with global significance, La Tour Bois-le-Prêtre with local significance and Wallisblok with socio-cultural significance are analysed through literature review and on-site observations. The results show that each case prioritises different forms of values, such as architectural value, social value and economic value, respectively, and that change gradually increases as the hierarchy of cultural significance decreases.

Abstract
Modern mimarlık mirasının yıkım tehdidi altındaki sayıca en fazla tipolojilerinden biri olan çok katlı konut mirasını konu alan bu çalışma, bu tipolojinin iyi örnek uygulamaları üzerinden, korumadan dönüşüme kadar farklı adaptasyon stratejilerinin değişim ve süreklilik eşiklerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yirminci yüzyılın çok katlı konut mimarisinde iki dönüm noktasını temsil eden Batı Avrupa'dan üç vaka çalışması kültürel önem hiyerarşisine göre gruplandırılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda küresel öneme sahip Unité d’Habitation Marseille, yerel öneme sahip La Tour Bois-le-Prêtre ve sosyo-kültürel öneme sahip Wallisblok, yerinde gözlem ve literatür araştırması aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Bulgular, her bir vakanın sırasıyla; mimari değer, sosyal değer ve ekonomik değer gibi farklı değer biçimlerine öncelik verdiğini ve kültürel önem hiyerarşisi azaldıkça değişimin kademeli olarak arttığını göstermektedir.
